Polysialyltransferase transcription in hBM-MSCs. NCAM polysialylation is catalyzed by two Golgi resident enzymes, polysialyltransferases ST8SIA2 and ST8SIA4. Qualitative reverse transcription PCR analysis was performed to indicate the presence of polysialyltransferases. a ST8SIA2 gene is located in chromosome 15q26 and consists of six exons, whereas ST8SIA4 gene is located in chromosome 5q21 and is comprised of five exons. b Both polysialyltransferases are transcribed in hBM-MSCs. The polySia-expressing neuroblastoma cell line kSK-N-SH was used as a control. bp base pairs, GAPDH glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, MSC mesenchymal stromal cell, RT reverse transcriptase
